Federal authorities are investigating what officials believe was a deliberate blast at a Harvard University medical facility that occurred during the early morning hours on Saturday. Campus police responded to the Goldenson building just before 3 a.m. after a fire alarm sounded and witnessed two individuals running from the scene, according to statements from the Harvard University Police Department.
Officers discovered evidence of an explosion on the fourth floor, which arson investigators preliminarily determined had the hallmarks of an intentional act. Boston police conducted a thorough search of the structure to rule out additional explosive devices, finding none. No one was hurt in the incident. Surveillance cameras captured images of two masked suspects that police later released to the public, showing one person wearing what looks like a gray ski mask and another in a long face covering with a black hooded sweatshirt.
The FBI Boston Division has joined university police in the probe. Authorities are seeking public assistance to identify the pair, with one suspect dressed in a brown hoodie featuring large black and yellow lettering, beige pants, and light-colored clogs, while the other wore black and gray plaid pants with black shoes. The investigation continues with support from multiple law enforcement agencies.
